It was summer in the Great Zhou Dynasty. The sky was just beginning to brighten.
In the bedroom of a farmer in Zhaozhai Village, a good show was playing out.
Sun Mei and Zhao Dong woke up almost at the same time. At that time, the two of them were sitting on the bed and looking at each other. Neither of them spoke first.
In the end, Sun Mei could not hold it in anymore. She had read the most novels. By then, she had already figured out the situation. She had transmigrated!
Her eyes flashed and she immediately reached out to support her head. She said weakly, "Ouch, my head hurts. What's wrong with me? Where am I? Who are you and who am I? Why don't I remember anything?"
Zhao Dong, who was looking at her, heaved a sigh of relief when he saw the woman's pretentious acting skills. "Wife, it's me. I'm your husband."
Sun Mei was still acting. "Ah, are you my husband? But I don't remember. What happened?"
Zhao Dong was speechless.
After quietly watching his wife act for a while, Zhao Dong finally couldn't take it anymore and interrupted her. "Alright, wife, stop acting like you want to run away from home. I saw through it at a glance. Wife, it's me, Dongzi."
This familiar way of speaking made Sun Mei's anxious heart instantly relax. She said excitedly, "Hubby! You transmigrated too! That's great. I thought I was the only one who transmigrated. I was almost scared to death."
She was not lying. When she read novels, she yearned to transmigrate. However, when she really transmigrated and suddenly came to an unfamiliar place, she only felt fear and helplessness.
Just as the two of them saw through each other's identities, a child's familiar cry suddenly sounded beside them. Their expressions changed and they looked over.
They saw a four or five-year-old child sitting at the head of the bed, crying and wiping his tears. She was even calling his parents.
"It's Tongtong, it's our Tongtong!" Seeing this, Sun Mei was extremely excited.
At this moment, Zhao Dong was already one step ahead. He picked up his daughter and coaxed her patiently.
The family of three met again in an unfamiliar world. Zhao Dong felt extremely lucky. As long as his wife and child were still around, he would not be afraid no matter where they were.
After appeasing the frightened Zhao Zhitong, they gradually recovered some memories of the original body.
Right now, they were in a dynasty called the Zhou Dynasty. Currently, it seemed to be in a peaceful and prosperous era without any war.
Their family name had not changed either. They were ordinary farmers from Zhaozhai Village.
The family of three familiarized themselves with the environment of the room and unified the way they spoke and how they addressed each other. Zhao Zhitong, in particular, was repeatedly told by Zhao Dong that she could not call them mom and dad anymore. She had to call them mother and father.
As she had the memories of the original Zhao Zhitong, it was not difficult to change the way they acted. However, due to the of the onslaught of memories, Zhao Zhitong's mind was still in a state of chaos.
Just as the three of them were communicating with each other, someone suddenly knocked on the door. Then, a woman's cursing voice came.
"Why aren't you getting up? What time is it now? You're all lazy!"
When this familiar scolding came out, Sun Mei's body instinctively trembled. This was the mother-in-law of her body, Madam Wang. In her memory, the original person had been beaten and scolded by this mother-in-law many times. Hence, she hurriedly replied, "Mother, we're up."
Then, there was another round of cursing outside, followed by a knock on the door beside them.
"What kind of mother is she? What kind of egg is she laying? What a lazy family! Hurry up and move out. Move out today. Don't even think about me feeding you again."
After Madam Wang knocked on their door, she returned to her room cursing.
"Let's get up quickly." Sun Mei sighed and hurriedly found some clothes to wear. "Today seems to be the day we move out."
Her mother-in-law was Zhao Dong's stepmother. She often criticized Zhao Dong and her eldest brother, who were the children of old man Zhao's ex-wife.
Not long ago, her eldest brother went hunting on the mountain and suddenly disappeared. Zhao Dong went to the mountain to look for her eldest brother and accidentally injured his leg. She lost two strong laborers and had to provide for them. She became even more unhappy after that.
As a result, Old Zhao was finally persuaded and they had to move out today.
Actually, in Sun Mei's opinion, it was a good thing to be able to split up the family. She did not want to live according to her mother-in-law's wishes.
Sun Mei and the other two hurriedly put on their clothes and went out.
When she opened the door, she saw her eldest daughter-in-law, Madam Zhu, standing in the courtyard with the three children.
Sun Mei nodded politely at her, but the other party was expressionless and even turned her face away, making Sun Mei feel very awkward.
At this moment, Old Fifth's wife, Madam Sun, came out of the kitchen. When she saw Sun Mei, she smiled kindly at her. "Second Sister-in-law."
Before Sun Mei could say anything, Madam Wang's ear-piercing scolding came from behind her ear. "You good for nothing, hurry up and cook! What are you smiling at? I'm not even as diligent as you."
Madam Wang's scolding was as unpleasant as it could be. Fifth daughter-in-law Sun Mei's eyes immediately turned red. She lowered her head and hurriedly went to scoop water.
"Cry, cry, cry. You can't lay an egg. You only know how to cry!"
Good lord, she was brutally scolded by Madam Wang.
Sun Mei's eyes widened. It was one thing to know that Madam Wang was unreasonable, but it would take a while to hear it.
"And you guys, what are you waiting for? Hurry up and move. Don't think of dragging me down."
Just as Madam Wang aimed the gun at Sun Mei, a woman's loud voice suddenly came from the door. "In-laws, I heard you howling in the courtyard just as I arrived at your door. Those who don't know better would think that someone died in your house!"
Sun Mei subconsciously looked over and saw a woman in her thirties or forties standing at the door with her hands on her hips. Sun Mei's eyes instantly widened. "Mom… Ah, Mother!"
It was no wonder that she was so shocked that she almost slipped up. It was mainly because this woman looked almost identical to her mother in her previous life!
When the woman saw Sun Mei, her expression instantly softened. She rushed forward and grabbed Sun Mei's hand like an old hen protecting her child. "Don't be afraid. Mother will support you!"
As she spoke, she glanced sideways at Madam Wang and snorted coldly. "She has her family backing her up. We can't let anyone bully us."
Madam Wang was so angry that her nostrils became bigger. "Zhao Guifen, you can't say anything good with your dog mouth. This is my house. Why did you come here to pretend to be a big shot! A family of shameless b*tches."
Zhao Guifen ignored her and comforted Sun Mei first. Then, she put her hands on her hips and said loudly, "Madam Wang, you're usually harsh on my son-in-law's family. You make my son-in-law work like an ox all day long. He doesn't eat much and is enslaved by you every day. I didn't say anything. Although you're remarried, you're still my son-in-law's mother. He has already been filial.
"But what's going on now? My son-in-law has just injured his leg, and you can't wait to chase him out of the house. Zhao family head, don't hide in the house and not come out. No matter what, he's your biological son. Aren't you afraid of being criticized?!"
Madam Wang was rude and unreasonable, but Zhao Guifen was not to be trifled with. Her mouth threw out insults like pouring beans, scolding Madam Wang until she couldn't interrupt.
When she mentioned that she was remarried, her face became even darker. This was her pain. She opened her mouth and scolded, "Zhao Guifen, you dirty woman. Your married daughter is like spilled water. You came to my house early in the morning to scold me…"
Zhao Baishan, who was in the house, could not sit still anymore. He walked out with a livid expression. "Alright, alright! It's so early in the morning. Why are you arguing? In a while, all the neighbors will come to watch the commotion. Don't you find it embarrassing?"
Madam Wang could not take it anymore. She shouted at the top of her lungs, "I'm noisy. Who's noisy? Zhao Guifang, that b*tch, came to our house. It's fine if you don't protect me, but you even scolded me. Zhao Baishan, are you still a man?! Boohoo, why is my life so bitter? I don't want to live anymore…"
